SKYRIM!!! DLC #2

It's called Hearthfire, it's 400msp and it's coming out September 4th. Check out the trailer below...



So what do you think? It's obviously not a full expansion like Dawnguard and it's also not priced like Dawnguard. Seems like a cool add-on to me. I will most likely check it out.

The Sims: Skyrim. What a joke this DLC is going to be...

I don't know, it could be cool. I would not mind owning my own home, depending on how customized you can make it. Is it just one template? Can I buy land anywhere? Or just one set piece of land? I would love to build a house away from everything in the middle of the mountains. It would definitely be cool for crafters too. If I was into crafting , making materials and building a house would be pretty sweet. I'll have to see how robust this DLC turns out to be.

That's awesome. If I wasn't so obsessed with GW2 I'd be all over this. Especially if you can choose a plot of land anywhere.

This would have been a really awesome feature had it been part of the original game. Adding it as a DLC doesn't really add much as most people that have played it already have everything they need and don't need to worry about growing a garden or working on a workbench.

If you are going to start a new character it would be cool.

I agree with that. I'm a level 81 already so this really wont be useful, but it would have been nice to have something like this for just starting out.

It definitely depends on the character. My main character is lvl 48 and a bit of a loaner. He spends most of his time in the woods and exploring. He is also a vampire lord so crowds and public places are not his cup of tea. A house out in the woods would be perfect for me.

Up until now I have used the house in Riften, due to it's outside door, and the Dark Brotherhood HQ. Both allow me to remain a full vampire without having to worry about guards and towns people.

I will be getting this it a bit corney sure but it will give me more stuff to do

I doubt that I'll be playing much of anything other than Guild Wars for awhile, but I would probably get this if I ever took the time to play Skyrim again. I like the idea of actually building your own property.

So you don't make more than 1 character I take it? May I ask why? Do you just twink the character?

Sad to say, but I have no less than 5 characters, all played completely different from one another. Course they may have 1 or 2 overlapping traits, but for the most part different.

I'm so all over this! I took a bunch of architecture and engineering classes in HS and this seems like a ton of fun. It's been forever since I've played SKYRIM!!! so I don't remember what level my character is, but I think she's only like in the mid 20s so I could have a ton of fun with that character or start another. Besides, this gives you a whole new reason to start pillaging so that you can collect an a$$ton of money to buy all the biggest upgrades. I wonder if you can buy multiple plots and build multiple houses?

Also, I agree with Zak that this would be great if you can pick your own plot since I'm a vampire too and I tend to avoid staying a full vampire because I don't want to spend all my time dealing with frightened townsfolk.

So, has anyone gotten this yet? I'm curious as to how many plots there are, how much they cost, and how many homes you can build. I've stashed like 75-80k and probably have another 50k+ in equipment and crap that I could sell to fully play around with the DLC. I'll probably pick it up in the next couple days and share my thoughts.

I bought it there are I think 4 different plots. 5000 per plot not sure per total to built

I picked it up and have yet to be able to build because I have to finish the quests to befriend one of the jarls so I can be offered the land.

you dont need to befriend a jarl just go to one of the jarls assistans and ask if you can buy a house.

If you go in to one of the city's a corrier should come to you and that is another way to get started

The courier came to me with the note that I can get the child's room stuff by talking to the steward in Whiterun (where I bought my first house) and I can adopt a child by talking to the lady at the Riften orphanage. I've tried talking to the jarl and the steward in Falkreath but I can't get the option to load so that I can buy the property. I found some info on where you can get property but haven't been able to get it:

And here's a link for how to do some building:

Anyway, I'll probably figure it out with some more time played. Besides, I got sidetracked running thru the country while completing some favor quests for Falkreath and ended up having more fun offroading that actually doing anything productive.

It tool me awhile as well the courier didn't give me anything about land.

Gotcha. I'll just have to jump around the couple of cities with land. I read that not getting the info about land from the courier is a known glitch/problem.

Yeah I read the same and that if you go to the jarls steward or whatever they will sell you the plot if you ask about buying a house

Maybe that's my problem. Supposedly you can buy land in Falkreath but there's no premade house to buy so it might not trigger the steward offering the land.
